I quoted JFK earlier in the thread , and I think most of the Americans in this thread totally disregarded it , "dont ask what your country can do for
you , but what you can do for it " seems fitting as we all go on about how our countries shaft us continually.

@paulioetc15: what exactly has me being from Scotland got to do with , the European allies figthing in Libya ?
as I've said before you Americans go on and on about how much your Government shafts you . As soon as any criticism comes your way for the way your
government treats the rest of the world you all jump on the defensive brandishing your guns and rifles , gloating about how great you are as a
military power.
Now thats a check in the box for whoever started that military psy ops program to brainwash the american people to love the US military.

I will apologise profusely for anything my country or government has done to offend or harm others around the world, as they are total retards!

I also forgive you all for being brainwashed " I total heart America" we p0wn you pawns !

Im just glad that this thread may have stirred something within you all to actually question your deep love for the US government.

ok, i have to do this so i don't forget where i am. (quote)

my gov is my gov, i question the idiots we put in there.

we all have to have some nationalistic tendencies to keep our nations.

some more than others, nonetheless, i really love my gov that gave me the opportunity to do anything i can dream of doing.

you guys used to own hong kong, not many countries i need a visa to visit.

@ fooks , scotland is a wonderfully #ty place ! , we have the beauty of the country and then places like Glasgow where im from to keep the balance on
an even keel !

yeh I played golf at St.Andrews , not during the day at night with my cousin and her friends and we were chased by the grounds keeper ! hahaha
midnight gold drunk is fun , least I can say I played St.Andrews.

Haggis is tasty , not as good as black pudding though , or even white pudding from Stornaway lovely , try black pudding with scallop's fantastic ,
the breakfast of kings !

Whilst most Scot's do speak the queens tongue , we also like to keep our native dialects and colluqialisms
I for instance am from the central belt , near Falkirk and moved to Glasgow , so my accent is completely different from Glasweigan. I am considered a
Chookter (anyone outside Glasgow) , however im no a Fifer !

Our langauge isnt Gaelic , as most would think , its acutally Auld scots , which is a bastardisation of the Queens English. see Robert Burns.

Please dont get me wrong here , I love American culture , in my opinion Americas greatest export is Hip Hop
it unites so many people from all over the world , we all share the same love for the culture and each other.

Anyways I dont support my government or yours , but # happens right !
just dont defend your governement blindly , however please do defend your constitution , as without it most countries and its citizens wouldnt stand a
chance against their governments.

I applaud America as it has produced some of the worlds best free thinkers and greatest minds of the modern age , who have pushed for democracy ,
liberty and the freedoms most of the west enjoy.

and when we have to pay big money to see the stupid pigeons in vatican sq, or take a chance of getting killed in egypt by millitants or GI distress
in almost everywhere. what do you think?

i suppose you drink bottled water in the states?

If there is a reason at all why some people don't hate, but roll their eyes at comments from America on ATS - and I've not seen this in the real
world working with my American based colleagues - you've just made it. Couldn't you have thrown something in about your God given constitution and
your garage full of guns to cover all bases?

Note to other Americans who may read this - I know most of you don't go around shouting we are the best all the time, just as I know most of you
wouldn't expect me to know the words to Land of hope and Glory (I don't).

Could not have put it better myself. I have friends that live in the US and I love going there, but I am continually reminded of "who is
best".........and yes.......I have to "roll my eyes".
It was "fooks" first line that said it all.
He really has NO idea.

A colony is a location under foreign rule for the explicit gain of the homeland. A puppet country is a nation used to make a wall around another
nation. The puppet state remains independent and can do what it wishes, so long they buy the homeland's military hardware and only does business with
the homeland.

It's viral. Advertisement really. Why do people who like a book say the same? Why do people who like a movie say the same? Because they believe it to
be true. And honestly I do believe it to be true. We are the best, and that's because of who we are. We are everyone. America is the time tested
truth that a bunch of people from every corner of the world, from every walk of life, when working together, make the greatest things. If people wish
to counter it, then by all means, try.

You have of course conveniently missed the point that the puppet government stays in power through covert use of the puppeteer state providing
resource - from arms to killers - to suppress those that would overthrow it in the name of democracy. You are a walking talking character from a Tom
Clancey novel aren't you? Frankly, you're a little strange.

Nope, you did it for the monetary advantage. If there was any heart in it at all you would have joined the war when you were begged to.

What, when Germany invaded/annexed Czechoslovakia?

No, wait a minute..... That's when England and France and all the rest were begged to join in the war, but refused.

But then, America gets held to a higher standard. An impossible one.

LOL, Really? And at what point did America get involved in that war? And you think it was for just causes? Joe Kennedy was the American diplomat for
England at the time and he advised the president against getting involved as he was convinved Germany would win and there 'would soon be Swastikas
hanging in Downing Street'. I wonder why the change of heart.

Then if you want to talk about higher standards - and it's you that brought this up. Let's talk about why America even thought there was justification
in trying to bring their napalmed version of peace to Vietnam. The original intent was to prevent China spreading its particular version of Communism
into the country when the two countries ideology at the time could not have been further apart.

Don't get me wrong, many brave people died in that conflict, in wars they always do, on both sides, but the point is that their country were
absolutely misguided in sending them their in the first place and its action certainly wasn't of a high standard.
